Chapter 557: Chapter 324 Wartime Status (Second Update)_2

“I know, and this setting isn’t hidden anymore, right? Many players already know about it.”

“Yeah, based on this setting, players can research and define the effects of Magic Artifacts themselves. Moreover, according to my research, the effects of a Magic Artifact can work in conjunction with the spells inscribed on it. The specific formula is… well, there is no formula, it’s all based on feeling.”

Liuzi listened, completely bewildered, still not understanding what Black Tech wanted him to do after quite a while.

Fortunately, after Black Tech wallowed in his own world for a while, he spoke to Liuzi with a hint of apology, “Sorry, I got a little carried away after finding something I like. The gist of it is, to resist the power of that Demon, we need some special items. These items can counteract the Demon’s power that makes people feel happy. To be specific, I hope you can draw something sad, and then we can turn it into a Magic Artifact. That way, we will be able to resist the Demon’s power.”

“…Why me?”

“Because your drawings are really good. When I was adventuring in the cosmos, I saw your artwork, and each piece was nothing short of art. So, I believe you can definitely accomplish this task.”

Liuzi thought it over but still couldn’t make up his mind.

He had already decided to start drawing a comedic romance comic, and his short piece was already submitted to the Zhongshan editor, who praised it highly and expressed his newfound love for this lady!

Now to be asked to draw something sad, he felt that wasn’t very reliable.

However, Black Tech’s attitude was gentle yet firm, which made Liuzi feel like he might as well give it a try.

So, he said to Black Tech, “I’ll try, but don’t blame me if it doesn’t turn out well.”

“I won’t, I trust you.”

Having returned to the Authentic Thunder Department, Liuzi began to ponder.

The Magic Artifacts that players created themselves were all sorts of strange things, and it seemed not impossible to use comics to make Magic Artifacts.

Besides, the ‘Work at Sunrise’ system had a comprehensive scoring system; players’ creations could be scored based on how well they were made. The higher the score, the higher the base score of the item, and the better the quality of the item obtained after charging it with magic.

Literary works could also be scored, which should be the system first using artificial intelligence to select some content, then humans giving the final score.

This system was also well-liked by many players; the acclaimed forging system in the game came about this way.

Manipulating the thunder light in his hand, Liuzi thought harder.

His comic had to be sad enough to break people’s defenses, to make them cry uncontrollably after reading it, and the content also needed to be endlessly memorable.

The dialogue had to be simple, so even illiterates like Xiemen Waidao could understand it.

It all seemed rather unlikely.

If it were a comedic story, he could still cobble something together based on what he witnessed in that Demon’s palace chamber.

But asking a romance comic artist to draw this kind of story was not very reliable.

Feeling that this task was difficult to complete, Liuzi quickly sketched a four-page short comic and then set it aside, going outside to seek inspiration.

A few minutes later, the portal to the outside world opened, and the Goddess of Art walked in, calling out cheerily, “Liuzi, where are you? I’ve come to play with you.”

Finding Liuzi absent, the Goddess of Art was about to leave, then noticed Liuzi’s new piece laid out on the table.

“A new work?”

Curious, she approached and picked it up, carefully starting to read.

Within the short span of four pages, she found a complete story, one that led the Goddess of Art to quietly turn back to the beginning and read it once more.

By the time Liuzi came back from his walk, he found the Goddess of Art clutching his manuscript with faint tear stains on her face.

Seeing this scene, Liuzi felt an inexplicable pang in his heart.

He hurriedly approached and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

“Liuzi…”

“Hm?”

“We can’t go back.”

“What?”

“I have to reconsider our relationship.”

“What are you talking about!”

“In just four short pages, I have to use my whole life to heal. I hate you!”

“What?”

Watching the Goddess of Art run away in tears, Liuzi still didn’t quite understand what was wrong with her.

However, thinking of the Goddess of Art’s previous behavior and the things she had seen earlier, Liuzi stroked his chin and mumbled to himself, “Could it be that I have the ability to make people cry?”

With his new work in hand, Liuzi asked each player one by one, and then discovered that he seemed to really have some talent in “healing.”

Every player who saw his short story had reddened eyes, even the most hard-hearted players were touched at that moment, with moistened eyes and warmed hearts.

After handing his work over to Black Tech, Liuzi saw this always sluggish genius lift his head and after a long while, he finally said, “The painting is really good.”

“You flatter me.”

“No, I know you’re talented, but I really didn’t expect you to be able to paint this well.”

“Can you look at me when you talk?”

“No, I’ll cry.”

“That’s such a last-century corny line.”

Despite his complaints, Liuzi still felt a bit proud.

Discovering a talent he wasn’t aware of made him feel like he still had room for improvement.

Seeing Xiemen Waidao coming over, Liuzi immediately said, “Xiemen Waidao, take a look at my new work.”

“Don’t want to, I’ve recently become blind,” Xiemen Waidao immediately said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know that you put a spell in your new work that makes everyone cry upon seeing it.”

“…You’re ruthless.”

The effect of the short story was unexpected, and the base score for the Magic Artifacts created with Liuzi’s original painting was off the charts, indicating that the AI’s evaluation of this work was also very high.

Using the original painting as a base, the items that were enchanted afterward were incredibly effective, bestowing a heart-wrenching debuff on whoever wore them, making them virtually unusable in normal situations.

When gaming pod players used it, they would feel a strong surge of grief, and during testing at the Demon’s palace bedchamber, everyone found the item to be very useful.

The emotions of joy and sorrow neutralized each other, so players wearing the new Magic Artifacts weren’t affected at all.

After confirming that the item’s effects were fine, the Scout in front also sent back the latest intelligence.

Having sacrificed a group of players, they had found out the Demon’s deployment; a large number of minor worlds had already fallen into the Demon’s hands, and their full-scale attack would likely be arriving soon.

A great deal of national fate was severed, countless Soldiers wore twisted smiles on their faces as they began preparing to attack this place.

The power of joy made them overwhelmingly strong, and the blessing of national fate gave them the power to fight Cultivators. Behind these dangerous Soldiers was the Demon’s evil, hideous laughter.

With this news, the players began to enter an official state of war.

The large-scale Magic Artifact manufacturing workshop was fired up!
